We had a lie in till 8am this morning as the alarms failed to go off. As we had decided on the next few days’ activities the first port of call was to see how far the credit card would bend. With the next few days all booked we set off up Ben Lomond (yes there was a hill, yes we had to climb it). Shunning the gondola that takes you half way to the summit after a filling breakfast and collecting lunch from the Naff Caff we started the 1400m assent. We were at the top shortly after lunch and took in some incredible views of the surrounding countryside, on the way down we explored some of the lower peaks and did our bit to preserve the local fauna by ripping the pine trees from the ground (as instructed I may add). Dinner again was at Dux to sample some more of the ales. Alpine ale is a good strong ale, the Ginger Tom an excellent take on ginger beer, the porter was the most impressive and least gassy but it all fell apart for the raspberry wheat ale. It’s bright pink and served in a wine glass, why do they call it an ale at all?
